This function provides for safer data access. The parameter is first checked that it is in the range of the string. The function throws out_of_range if the check fails. Success results in unsharing the string.

Returns an integer < 0 if this string is ordered before __str, 0 if their values are equivalent, or > 0 if this string is ordered after __str. Determines the effective length rlen of the strings to compare as the smallest of size() and str.size(). The function then compares the two strings by calling traits::compare(data(), str.data(),rlen). If the result of the comparison is nonzero returns it, otherwise the shorter one is ordered first.

Form the substring of this string from the __n characters starting at __pos. Returns an integer < 0 if the substring is ordered before __str, 0 if their values are equivalent, or > 0 if the substring is ordered after __str. Determines the effective length rlen of the strings to compare as the smallest of the length of the substring and __str.size(). The function then compares the two strings by calling traits::compare(substring.data(),str.data(),rlen). If the result of the comparison is nonzero returns it, otherwise the shorter one is ordered first.

Form the substring of this string from the __n1 characters starting at __pos1. Form the substring of __str from the __n2 characters starting at __pos2. Returns an integer < 0 if this substring is ordered before the substring of __str, 0 if their values are equivalent, or > 0 if this substring is ordered after the substring of __str. Determines the effective length rlen of the strings to compare as the smallest of the lengths of the substrings. The function then compares the two strings by calling traits::compare(substring.data(),str.substr(pos2,n2).data(),rlen). If the result of the comparison is nonzero returns it, otherwise the shorter one is ordered first.

Returns an integer < 0 if this string is ordered before __s, 0 if their values are equivalent, or > 0 if this string is ordered after __s. Determines the effective length rlen of the strings to compare as the smallest of size() and the length of a string constructed from __s. The function then compares the two strings by calling traits::compare(data(),s,rlen). If the result of the comparison is nonzero returns it, otherwise the shorter one is ordered first.

Form the substring of this string from the __n1 characters starting at __pos. Returns an integer < 0 if the substring is ordered before __s, 0 if their values are equivalent, or > 0 if the substring is ordered after __s. Determines the effective length rlen of the strings to compare as the smallest of the length of the substring and the length of a string constructed from __s. The function then compares the two string by calling traits::compare(substring.data(),s,rlen). If the result of the comparison is nonzero returns it, otherwise the shorter one is ordered first.

Form the substring of this string from the __n1 characters starting at __pos1. Form a string from the first __n2 characters of __s. Returns an integer < 0 if this substring is ordered before the string from __s, 0 if their values are equivalent, or > 0 if this substring is ordered after the string from __s. Determines the effective length rlen of the strings to compare as the smallest of the length of the substring and __n2. The function then compares the two strings by calling traits::compare(substring.data(),s,rlen). If the result of the comparison is nonzero returns it, otherwise the shorter one is ordered first.

Removes __n characters from this string starting at __pos. The length of the string is reduced by __n. If there are < __n characters to remove, the remainder of the string is truncated. If __p is beyond end of string, out_of_range is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Inserts __n copies of character __c starting at the position referenced by iterator __p. If adding characters causes the length to exceed max_size(), length_error is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Starting at __pos1, insert __n character of __str beginning with __pos2. If adding characters causes the length to exceed max_size(), length_error is thrown. If __pos1 is beyond the end of this string or __pos2 is beyond the end of __str, out_of_range is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Inserts the first __n characters of __s starting at __pos. If adding characters causes the length to exceed max_size(), length_error is thrown. If __pos is beyond end(), out_of_range is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Inserts the first __n characters of __s starting at __pos. If adding characters causes the length to exceed max_size(), length_error is thrown. If __pos is beyond end(), out_of_range is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Inserts __n copies of character __c starting at index __pos. If adding characters causes the length to exceed max_size(), length_error is thrown. If __pos > length(), out_of_range is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Inserts character __c at position referenced by __p. If adding character causes the length to exceed max_size(), length_error is thrown. If __p is beyond end of string, out_of_range is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

This operator allows for easy, array-style, data access. Note that data access with this operator is unchecked and out_of_range lookups are not defined. (For checked lookups see at().) Unshares the string.

Removes the characters in the range [pos,pos+n) from this string. In place, the value of __str is inserted. If __pos is beyond end of string, out_of_range is thrown. If the length of the result exceeds max_size(), length_error is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Removes the characters in the range [pos1,pos1 + n) from this string. In place, the value of __str is inserted. If __pos is beyond end of string, out_of_range is thrown. If the length of the result exceeds max_size(), length_error is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Removes the characters in the range [pos,pos + n1) from this string. In place, the first __n2 characters of __s are inserted, or all of __s if __n2 is too large. If __pos is beyond end of string, out_of_range is thrown. If the length of result exceeds max_size(), length_error is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Removes the characters in the range [pos,pos + n1) from this string. In place, the characters of __s are inserted. If pos is beyond end of string, out_of_range is thrown. If the length of result exceeds max_size(), length_error is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Removes the characters in the range [pos,pos + n1) from this string. In place, __n2 copies of __c are inserted. If __pos is beyond end of string, out_of_range is thrown. If the length of result exceeds max_size(), length_error is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Removes the characters in the range [i1,i2). In place, the value of __str is inserted. If the length of result exceeds max_size(), length_error is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

Removes the characters in the range [i1,i2). In place, characters in the range [k1,k2) are inserted. If the length of result exceeds max_size(), length_error is thrown. The value of the string doesn't change if an error is thrown.

This function attempts to reserve enough memory for the string to hold the specified number of characters. If the number requested is more than max_size(), length_error is thrown.

The advantage of this function is that if optimal code is a necessity and the user can determine the string length that will be required, the user can reserve the memory in advance, and thus prevent a possible reallocation of memory and copying of string data.

This function will resize the string to the specified number of characters. If the number is smaller than the string's current size the string is truncated, otherwise the string is extended and new elements are set to __c.

This function will resize the string to the specified length. If the new size is smaller than the string's current size the string is truncated, otherwise the string is extended and new characters are default-constructed. For basic types such as char, this means setting them to 0.

Construct and return a new string using the __n characters starting at __pos. If the string is too short, use the remainder of the characters. If __pos is beyond the end of the string, out_of_range is thrown.
